In need an inexpensive pre paid sim which is on the Telstra network as i already am with Optus but need a second line for security in case one network fails
Can you advise options
Hi Graeme, ALDI Mobile, Everyday Mobile and Superloop are some of the cheaper options on the Telstra network. You can compare prepaid plans here and use the filters and the pricing toggle in the table (clicking on ongoing price for example) to change the order from cheapest to most expensive: https://www.finder.com.au/mobile-plans/prepaid-plans. Hope this helps!

Which mobile provider has best 5g coverage on Telstra network?
Cheers andrew
Hi Andrew,
If you’re wanting maximum 5G coverage, Boost Mobile is your best bet.
It’s currently the only Mobile Virtual Network Operator with access to Telstra’s full network. (Other MVNOs use Telstra’s wholesale network which has slightly less coverage.)
You can check out the full range of Boost Mobile plans here.
